Sorry. I didn't realize that the bank angle of an aerobatic turn had to be between 60 and 90 deg. That said, I see now that top rudder will have to be applied to maintain altitude. Is this maneuver typically done at a 90 deg bank?
Not always true.
If you only bank about 70 and maintain a good speed you will not need rudder. Of course this will depend on your plane. Find what is comfortable with your particular model
As sweetpea says it's not always needed but remember this one thing, for the flow of the sequence to look good you would be flying this turn at roughly the same speed you did everything else and flying to whole sequence a close to full throttle is gonna really kill your scores, it's much harder to stop a maneuver where it should end if flying fast.
Anybody up to posting a Sportsman's narrative?
